Hola

This week went by
soooo fast. Elder Mayorga and I are just having a blast. Not sure if I
mentioned but we were in the same district together for about 4 months so we
already know each other pretty well. Our week was full of inside jokes from
about 6 months ago haha, it was a pretty great time. If you guys remember in
the beginning of last transfer I mentioned that the area was all dried up and
we had about 3 good investigators. Well
it felt pretty familiar to that lately, as we have been forced to drop a bunch
of investigators lately. I’m not even phased by it even a little though, cause
me and Elder Mayorga already have a ton of unity and we already know how to
contact and teach together, so this week we were able to accomplish a lot of
great things together. We made one contact and it was one hundred percent the
spirit. We started looking for her needs
and I can’t remember the question we asked but she just started to cry and she
told us that she has been looking for something secure like a church because
her family has been forced to move all over the place the past year and it’s
been hard for her to find pace and settle in.

On Wednesday we also
had a really great training meeting with Elder Mark A Bragg from the seventy
and I learned a lot there. About 4
months ago the Area Presidency made us do a survey about all different things
about the mission like: our safety, how we work, how we teach, how obedient we
are. Elder Bragg came in with the results from the survey and told us that 81
percent of our mission is obedient all of the time. He said it was the highest
he has seen which is crazy cool. Although we still have a few other things to
work on in our teaching skills as a mission. It was cool though because Elder Bragg
taught us all on exactly what we needed through the survey and I actually
learned a ton of great things. I hope this week was great for you and you enjoy
your last bit of summer hahaha
